    GOP sees soldiers as dollar store screwdrivers: use it until it breaks, then buy another one. the instant a soldier becomes more of a liability (aka veterans, wounded) than an asset, then GOP couldn’t give less of a flying fuck about them

      Don’t they predominantly vote for the GOP though? You’d think they’d want to keep them at least somewhat happy, as if you push them too far that might change?

        no. they don’t give a fuck. why would they? they’re dollar store screwdrivers.

        if you push them too far that might change?
